Barack Obama By MICHAEL R GORDON and JEFF ZELENY Published November 2 2007 CHICAGO Oct 31 Senator Barack Obama says he would engage in aggressive personal diplomacy with Iran if elected president and would offer economic inducements and a possible promise not to seek regime change if Iran stopped meddling in Iraq and cooperated on terrorism and nuclear issues Senator Barack Obama during an interview in Chicago on Wednesday If Elected Toward a Foreign Policy This is the third in a series of interviews with the 2008 presidential candidates in both parties about how they would handle the issues they would confront as president Future stories will look at the positions of the other candidates on Iraq and on other national security and domestic policy matters Times Topics Barack Obama Multimedia The Times's Michael R Gordon and and Jeff Zeleny discuss their interview with Senator Obama Back Story Senator Obama on Iran mp3 Related Transcript Interview With Barack Obama November 1 2007 Magazine Preview Is His Biography Our Destiny? November 4 2007 If Elected Clinton Says Some G I 's in Iraq Would Remain March 15 2007 If Elected McCain Sees 'No Plan B' for Iraq War April 15 2007 Blog The Caucus The CaucusThe latest political news from around the nation Join the discussion Candidate Topic Pages More Politics News Enlarge This Image Jeremy Lange for The New York Times Senator Barack Obama Thursday in Durham N C He proposes new steps with Iran as part of an effort to stabilize Iraq In an hourlong interview on Wednesday Mr Obama made clear that forging a new relationship with Iran would be a major element of a broad effort to stabilize Iraq as he executed a speedy timetable for the withdrawal of American combat troops Mr Obama said that Iran had been acting irresponsibly by supporting Shiite militant groups in Iraq He also emphasized that Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program and its support for terrorist activities were serious concerns But he asserted that Iran's support for militant groups in Iraq reflected its anxiety over the Bush administration's policies in the region including talk of a possible American military strike on Iranian nuclear installations Making clear that he planned to talk to Iran without preconditions Mr Obama emphasized further that changes in behavior by Iran could possibly be rewarded with membership in the World Trade Organization other economic benefits and security guarantees We are willing to talk about certain assurances in the context of them showing some good faith he said in the interview at his campaign headquarters here I think it is important for us to send a signal that we are not hellbent on regime change just for the sake of regime change but expect changes in behavior And there are both carrots and there are sticks available to them for those changes in behavior In his Democratic presidential bid Mr Obama has vigorously sought to distinguish himself on foreign policy from his rivals particularly Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York by asserting that he would sit down for diplomatic meetings with countries like Iran North Korea and Syria with no preconditions The suggestion which emerged as a flash point in the campaign has prompted Mrs Clinton to question whether such an approach would amount to little more than a propaganda victory for the United States' adversaries and to question the experience of Mr Obama a first-term senator from Illinois Other Democrats in turn have criticized Mrs Clinton for an approach to Iran they call too hawkish including a vote for a nonbinding resolution describing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran as a terrorist organization Mr Obama's willingness to conduct talks at the highest level with Iran also differs significantly from the Bush administration's approach The administration has authorized Ambassador Ryan C Crocker to discuss Iraq with Iranian officials But the White House has also said it will not engage in high-level talks on other issues unless Iran first suspends its program to enrich uranium Nor has the Bush administration advertised in detail the possible rewards for a change of Iranian behavior Through most of the interview Mr Obama
